This is completely stupid! How can this be possible. I don't think this will become a reality, or at least I do hope it does not.
Anyone has confirmation that this will be actually happening?

An extremely large and unfair judgment, If it's related to doing illegal things using bitcoin then it would be like any other system but banning the coin itself is stupid, Russian government are afraid of anything that shows their currency's real price.

It's similar to banning handguns. Most people who have handguns don't use them to commit crimez, they just like guns. And of course they're trying to protect their currency -- that's their job.

Well, this creates a few issues. First, people will be less likely to use bitcoins if they are hard to acquire and there are legal penalties associated with it. No one wants to get into trouble, especially in Russia. Second, even if people did want to exchange their bitcoin, where would people do it? I am sure exchanges and other platforms to sell bitcoins will be taken offline. It will be really hard to get someone to purchase bitcoins if they realize that sure they hold some value, but how are you going to tap it? You would also certainly have to leave the country if you want those bitcoins in your possession to be exchanged.

There is no proof or confirmation, only ministry has revealed such a statement. In reality it won't come true.

Surprised because it's 7 years prison for using BTC. But on the other side, how they will find people who using btc? It's so unreal to do. haha

That's excessive in every possible way I think, 7 Years for trading bitcoin is one of the most ridiculous punishments overall and primarily punishing the people for something that shouldn't be illegal...

That's a rough punishment, I guess this at least till us Russia degree of anti-BTC they are using, not simply not supporting it but giving people this kind of punishment for using it in Russia..
